PEAM #102-7/31/13: Extra! Extra! Desperate Widows Fighting Over Cricket-Face Man
Recap By Pablo
80 more to go!
''You are a lot more than you think you are''
Xóchitl's honesty hurt Julio in the deepest part of his heart. She doesn't love him. Jesús is drinking coffee with him and trying to make him feel better but Julio is afraid he will end up alone as a zombie, living without will and just walking around with no direction. Of course Jesús is right, Julio deserves a woman who loves him, but right now Julio doesn't see with clarity. The pain is just unbearable. Will you still not love me tomorrow?
''Take care Alma, your work is flawless and nothing bad should happen to you''
Alma, the only one who actually works at Avon, except when she is pissed off running away to CanCún with a heartache leaving traceable hints to be tracked down, presents to Rogelio with some reports, sales and representatives reports, budget, inventory and campaigns. Sounds impressive, so Rogelio slips and almost loses his cover telling her to be careful because some danger is pending over her head. The lawyer coughs and Rogelio stops but he has already said too much. One more mistake like that and the whole company will know that he is related to Uri Petrovsky in the dirty business area. That is not good.
Rogelio's words linger in Alma's head and she get the shivers, so when Jesús shows up saying that everything is suspiciously calm she almost jumps from her chair... What he wants is to go out for a couple hours to see Elías.
I guess this lawyer is better talking about women than doing what he should as a professional, because when Alma leaves, the conversations turns to the fair sex and Cantú makes Rogelio his hero because now he has Verónica and Patricia after him. What he doesn't know is not that those two can't add up to make a single good one out of them, but Rogelio swears and tries to convince himself that he was, is and will be always in love with Alma (and her good genes).
Rogelio keeps trying to take control of Fernando's love life, but Fernando is tired and snaps, threatening Rogelio with knocking out all of his teeth (and they are a lot!) in case he stays in that position. Enough is enough and after all Fernando has done for Rogelio and all Rogelio has done for Fernando, the balance is still uncertain and out of the blue Fernando threatens to quit. Who won, who lost, who knows?
''But you said you wanted to spend more time with the girl''
Elias has a date with Jesús and asks Verónica to pick up Valentina from school but she has other plans and reminds him that he wanted to be closer to the girl, so now he will have to do it. With Verónica, whatever you say is written in stone except when she says it. In that case, she can say one thing and do another completely different.
So, even when Jesús only has two hours to go, only God knows where in Monterrey to see Elías, and then come back to work, he has to change clothes. You know, the purple towers are in the hottest area in the city and this restaurante is in the coldest, so he needs a jacket and a hoodie underneath. While getting out of Remigio's taxi, he gets to have a glimpse of Malvino and Sixto, and of course, trying to be a hero, runs to them, fast & furious, but they step on the gas and escape leaving him and Remigio breathless...
Jesús quickly dials Delia's line but she is busy, so when Elías gets to the Sport Center, he is still trying. She must know, so we can unveil another chapter in this cat and mouse chase. That tattooed man from the warehouse has to be linked to Rogelio and Uri somehow, we only need to connect the dots-
''Do your best without paper waste''
Back at Avon, Fernando, who wears boxers, designs a recycling campaign to save paper. Xóchitl has some ideas and together they come up with some silly lines, only to end up kissing!! Rogelio enters the office and things get messy because he doesn't like how Fernando is always hooking up with either or, secretaries and ugly girls.
''Astudillo and Cabello together versus Franco and Fierro''
Somewhere in the hot area in Monterrey, Licenciada Cabello and Licenciado Astudillo plot against Verónica and Elías, who will pay even for paper clips and staples.
''Susana boyfriend-stealer''
Besides hanging around, people here have another trend, and that is to steal boyfriends. Patricia did it and she set the standard, so now Chatita is afraid Susana is going to take away her cricket-face boyfriend. Diabetes not only causes blindness but dumbness, because he visited Susana last night and now Chatita is jealous... don't do good things that look like bad things...
''I am going to make picadillo out of him!!''
When you have two morons as sidekicks, you have to have a plan B, C, D and inclusive E, so when Malvino and Sixto come back empty handed, Uri devises yet another plan to make picadillo out of Jesús.
''Watercress, spinach and goat cheese salad''
It is dinner time and Rogelio, whose mind is still uneasy about the danger that follows Alma's as the sword of Damocles,
and invites her to eat with him. She is reluctant in the beginning, but slowly yields and soon they have their forks tangled in the crisp pieces of spinach. The Popeye effect doesn't work with them, so while drinking a delicious kiwi-lemonade, they talk about wedding annulments and friendships that could blossom after that.
The phone rings and Rogelio leaves the table. Alma suspects something fishy, and on the other end Verónica ignores Valentina urges her to get help doing her homework, to talk to Rogelio.
On the coldest side of the city, Jesús and Elías enjoy their meals, along with a hefty portion of gossip, guessing this and that regarding Ray, is he a he or a she, his mother died how, why is Chatita doing this or that for him/her, and so on and so on... Elías made a deal with Verónica and she will keep the house so he can have rights to see Valentina.
Maybe now that he is about to start a new life he could include Marisela in it, since he is already helping her father, why not adopt the girl too? He likes her, and who knows, maybe with his help, she could become another Eliza Doolittle, right?
And speaking of Ray, who secretly wanted to become a nun to be called ''Sor Raimunda'', Chatita is giving her dish the finishing touches with a dash of salt and a pinch of pepper. Both sit down, discuss the reasons why she decided to become a boy. Ray claims it is better to be a man, because women die young and apparently without reason. That's a lie that will only work until she grows a big pair of, other reasons not to be a boy anymore. Chatita reassures her that her mother didn't die because she was a woman, but because she was doing something wrong.
Life goes on, and now Ray will replace that son Chatita lost when he was around her same age...
''True love can not be ruled, only obeys both lovers''
Marisela doesn't eat, so Ricardo gives her a flower pot. He wants her to take care of it like it is their love, and water it, to make it grow INTO A TREE!. Since she is so dumb and doesn't see the allegory she takes the plant with no amusement at all. He quotes Alejandro Casona and leaves, so she just smiles and stays there, as perplexed as always...
Then we get to enjoy our loved Old intro theme now with new edition and new pictures...
Could ''be'' Jesús right?
Gossip is good when it comes to find out the relation between Verónica and Rogelio
Malvino Guerra and Sixto López
Jesús goes to see Delia and identifies the face of the guy he saw this morning, and was the same who gave him a beating and the same he saw when the Turkish cigars thing.
Check Xóchitl's picture. Fernando is right, she is ugly!
Natasha can wear skimpy dresses because she lives in the hottest side of Monterrey (unlike Jesús and Alma, who never leave home without their heavy coats, scarfs and winter boots). Bárbara pretends she is sick to see if she can make her daughter change her mind and stay home, but Xóchitl's alter ego is stronger than anything Bárbara has ever seen and she is left home alone. And better get used to it because this is the tip of the iceberg!!
Jesús and Alma are threatened by Uri in the coldest side of Monterrey
While they dine wrapped in the most protective clothes, I mean, in the most pure and sweet love, Uri gets to the roof of the building across the street and point his green laser gun to Alma´s forehead. For some reason, she can not see the huge source of light across the street. Uri phones Jesús to blackmail him threatening both Alma, Valentina, Chatita and everybody Jesus loves in case he denounces him to Delia. Jesús gets in the way making himself the target, and tells Alma the call is just a prank to get money out of him. Uri knows exactly how many people Jesús loves and who they are and where they live, and what they do at every second, so if he wants to see them safe, he has to go to Hotel Diamante Real suite 404 to talk in private. Just to be on the safe side, Alma quickly phones Elías and finds out Valentina is safe. Jesús lies to Alma (this time it is justified because she should not worry) saying that he is going to see Valentina, when he is actually going to see Uri.
Natasha (rather blind than ugly) refuses to wear her glasses while looking for Fernando at Luigi's. She is not only as blind as a bat, but she is also dumb, if what we saw is what she saw, I could perfectly make out that the bald head of the guy she mistakes for Fernando was not him. When she finally finds him they bump heads, laugh, and he confesses that this is not the Xóchitl he loves, because he loves the other one, the ugly one, the one who wears glasses. Luckily, she has them in her purse and faster than a speeding bullet, puts them on. I can see clearly now (and it was not even raining).
Verónica dresses specially for Rogelio (and the hottest side of Monterrey) but before that she wants a little more of that drink with a worm Minerva shared with her once. Was it mezcal, pulque, pisto or juárever, she wants to be ''very happy'' before going over there.
Meanwhile, Patricia tries to buy Alma back with a cheap poem about forgiveness and friendship she bought on the street along with a bouquet of roses and a payaso lollipop. Thanks for the thought but no thanks, dump your yellow coat and enjoy the beauty of the air conditioned. You can feel as warm as if you still have it on... Come inside! Let's see if your arguments and fake tears will convince me that your friendship is worth my time...
Before Valentina goes to sleep Elías tells her his version of the same and old tired story, with a twist.
Tomorrow!
Uri's revenge will make Jesús decide if he wants Alma and Valentina alive or with him. If Jesús doesn't leave them, they will be made PICADILLO!! Juar-juar-juar!!

Pablo:
Thanks for this fab recap.
So this is Yuri's Picadillo plan? I hope Delia takes care of this picadillo plan. Rogue must have come up with this stupid idea. If Rogue thinks this will make Alma run back to him, he is stupider than I thought he was. Rogue needs to go back to la carcel. I hope this is what does it.
Poor Chucho, he was right about the calm before the storm. He'll probably cave and not be around Alma or Valentina. But since there are 80 capitulos to go, they had to come up with something to separate Alma and Chucho again. I can't see Chucho not seeing Valentina.
Ugh, now Cantu is eyeing Domi! I can't stand him. What a letch!
Ferny and Xochi were so funny. Even breaking their glasses. I hope they stay together.
So now we know for sure that Ray is a girl. Poor thing about her Mama. I wonder what her Mama did?
So can Patymelt repair her friendship with Alma? I wonder......

Thanks Pablo! This recap had a wonderful flow to it in addition to your usual hilarious analysis.
Mads, I also liked Fer and Xochi, especially when he stood up for her against Rogue. It's interesting how all of Rogue's Avon playground bully pals are turning away from him.
Cantu might be letching on Domi but she's encouraging him! What is she thinking?
I'm not too worried about Yuri's picadillo plot. He's beyond lame. However he does look fabulous in a suit.
I liked the scene where Panfilo asked Chatita if she liked him or just liked fighting with Susana. Good question dude. But I think he got his answer with Chatita's wink.

It used to be funny when Rog would call Discua "Biscuit" and now it's even funnier when he calls Xochitl "Sushi." Juarever!

Love it Pablo! You know, the purple towers are in the hottest area in the city and this restaurante is in the coldest, so he needs a jacket and a hoodie underneath. My favorite observation: "
I actually was wondering the same last night. And did you also notice NOONE TAKES THEIR COATS OFF. It's been driving me batty in this show that everyone walks around with their coats in the houses. Even poor Val does it. Maybe moths got to the clothes and they have to wear coats over everything.
For the life of me, how Alma, facing the gun, did not see a laser pointed right at her head. I've seen those things in action and you see the line and certainly can see the spot! Chucho, lord love him, usually gets out of these scrapes, and I agree, this is a lame plan, so he should be able to weedle his way out. Go tell your Delia and then go undercover, but he better not just cave.
I thank the writers for the lovely FerChi scene. Made me truly smile. And the Chatita scene with Ray, well done.
Pati stuff, like we knew that would happen. And Vero---the look at Val's face. Please someone, get this girl away from her mother.

Another masterpiece,Pablo, thank you.
I often wondered about the winter clothing in a warm climate but your delivery hit the nail on the head. Yep, certain parts of the city are colder than others. ;-)
Cantu is such a horny toad. Rogelio should hire Alexandria for him.
I did like Ferny and Xochy's date. They are good for one another.
I still don't trust Paty and I wish that Alma did not let her in but then it wouldn't be a telenovela.
Panfilo needs to sit down and worry about getting healthy or he won't be any good for either woman.
Marisela and Elias- I know that she is young and cute but...she needs help.
Speaking of needing help- a psychiatrist could retire off of a casload that includes: Dr. Loca, Rogelio, Paty, Fern, Xochy's mom, Ray ( poor little thing), Valentina for the kidnapping, Jessica, Marisela, Veronica and the list goes on.

Ah, what levity to go along with the morning news and coffee!!! Thanks for the very entertaining recap and giving us the number of episodes left.
I found your indoor/outdoor apparel observations very interesting along with "cricket face man".
Nothing left to comment on this one.

Thanks.
Cara de grillo es how Chatita calls Pánfilo affectionately. And now that I see him closely, I understand why. I wanted to use it and what better way that in the title. I know that was not the main theme, but love and revenge are so everyday things...
Susana and Chatita fighting over what could be TOSMTAIM is priceless! Now that Sebastián is out of the picture. This demonstrates that Dña Susana doesn't care who, she only wants something to warm up her bed, jajaja! and for that, I know some other ways less disgusting...
(The only single man their age in Monterrey)

Thanks Pablo! The highlight of the episode for me were the developments between Fern and Xochi; Fern standing up to Rogue (I did laugh at his calling Xochi, Sushi); and then their date. I wish Natasha had more than one outfit though, and got rid of those damn gloves. As mentioned the other night, the idea of not giving her a makeover is to show that Fern is falling in love with the real Xochi. But it wouldn't hurt to have Xochi in her normal clothes (we've only seen her in street clothes twice), but with smaller glasses, a bit of lipgloss, and her hair worn loose.
The laser thing was ridiculous; as was the idea of Jesus giving in to Yuri's demands. I hope Jesus has some clever plan.
I will admit that I got teary while Ray was speaking to Chatita. She spoke about how her mother got killed because she was a woman, who was weak physically and couldn't defend herself. I don't remember Chatita saying that her mother did anything wrong. Wasn't it Ray's father who killed her mom? Now she lives with her brother (who we have yet to see). Sad story all around.

Yay again, Pablo! And extra thanks for identifying that salad. It looked good to me, but all I could tell was that it was mostly green with some large white bits in it. I haven't had watercress in ages and now I can't stop thinking about it.
Also, thanks to Daniela yesterday for identifying Tomasita Herrera.
I think Discua is no longer in the opening credits. Maybe she's not coming back after all, or at least not soon. But that's okay, because I like Xochando (Fernchi?) a lot.
I realize this means that there's still no woman for Julio, but maybe he could try converting one of the Chisme Twins into a decent human being.

Here is the nino tomasito on a vela

He was a child-like, hermaphroditic curandero.

Was he the one killed in the woods by his father?
I think I read something about this spirit who was the guide of yet another curandero, Niño Fidencio...
Why would a TN promote this kind of pagan ''saints''? I mean, I am tired of Virgen the Guadalupe being the main character in all of them, but this? Is ridiculous!

You're right, Pablo. The nino Fidencio was the hermaphroditic curandero, who invoked the nino Tomasito.

Is Chucho-Tocayo also a would-be Jesuit like Fernando Colunga?
Isn't Marta still on the loose? Now that Discua is long gone, the actress who plays them both needn't worry. Notice how they are never in the same scene together????

Daniela, it was weeks before I actually realized Marta and Discua were different people! I was so confused.
Pablo:
Can you explain a little more about the nino Tomas? I like to learn about the culture and had never heard of it. Thanks.

I didn't know anything until Carmen Salinas mentioned and I saw the image by her door. I hate when people use TN for personal populist propaganda and I am sure Ms Salinas is a Tomasito Herrera follower in real life.
I googled it and found out that he is one of those called pagan saints, not recognized by the Catholic Church, like Malverde, saint of the drug dealers (like they need help from above to ruin lives here on earth) and the Saint Death... you know, weird stuff like that...

Thanks, Pablo, for the info on el niño Fidencio and el niño Tomás. Cultural details like these in addition to current language usage are what makes these novelas worthwhile.

Pablo, even in your comments your quotes are priceless: "but love and revenge are so everyday things...". You said it brother!
True Sylvia - even his comments are exceptional!!
Boy do I feel silly, I Disney realize that Discua and Dr. Loca were one a s the same. I thought so but I wasn't sure.

Seriously, this is the last time that I comment from my phone- it should have read I didn't realize.
Sorry!!
Sorry!!
TJ, I hardly ever comment from my phone. It's so "smart" it changes all my words for me. Just like yours does! Just to clarify, Dr. Loca and Discua are NOT the same person, but boy do they look alike, at least on screen.
Pablo, you're always so funny. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were really enjoying this show ;).
I suppose we are meant to believe that the air in Monterrey is so pure and clear that there are NO particles to make that laser beam visible to Alma even though she was directly facing it.
It took me awhile to figure out that Discua and Marta weren't the same actress, too. They must go to the same plastic surgeon, although I think Marta gets a little more out of control with the tweezers and pencil on her eyebrows.

Ha, Vivi; I didn't see your comment before I wrote mine. I wonder if they asked for the same look, or just got it anyway!
Pablo You're so witty in English, you must be incredibly funny in your native language. Really,dude, being fluent in two languages is difficult, to be fluent AND funny (on purpose) is extraordinary. I salute you.
Favorite lines:
"Who won, who lost, who knows?" (And I almost expected you to add "who's on first"?)
and
"plan B,C,D, and inclusive E".
Oh yeah, our villain and his cohorts are dense and Uri's heavy-handed Spanish doesn't help either. His plodding delivery reminds me a little bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger speaking English.
Color me confused as to why Domi would encourage the lubricious Cantú but I can't fault him for admiring her lovely legs. Great calf development there....probably from having to run back and forth waiting on the irascible Rogelio!
Tried the Julie Maneuver of just watching the last 15 minutes of this and it worked fine. Saw the adorable scene with "Sushi" and Fernando and enjoyed watching sweet Val be tucked into bed...Awwww. Works for me.
Again, thanks to Daniela for cluing us into the pagan saint. I learned about some pagan saints when I visited friends in Brazil years ago, and realize that the church has always accommodated, to some extent, existing pagan beliefs and that's why we include Christmas trees at Navidad time, and celebrate Christ's birthday in December (Winter solstice)when he actually is purported to have been born in August. (But hey, I wasn't there...so who knows?)

Woohoo! There's a maneuver named after me!!
Pablo, the first time I ever saw Carmen Salinas was when she was doing an ad for some kind of psychic hotline. (That's probably why I didn't like her.) Maybe her fondness for curarderos ties into that too.
I don't think Discua and Marta look much alike at all except for maybe their hair. Marta is much harsher-looking!

I don't really like actors bringing their personal agendas into fictional shows, either. Psychic hotline? Ugh. What I dislike about Carmen Salinas is her dead, flat line delivery. Her mannerisms and speech never seem to vary from character to character. I remember one scene in particular, in TdA, when she and two other ladies were doing some song-and-dance performance, and her "singing" was just stating the lyrics in her same flat tones. Is that supposed to be entertaining?
Have Jesus, Alma, and Pancho, Pancho Lopez ever considered that maybe they should be taking a really close look at Rogue's dealings, especially regarding Avon's finances? Jesus especially knows that Rogue is a liar, a cheat, and up to funny business. Why would he think he would keep his hands out of Avon?

I might start using the Julie Maneuver on Tempestuds. I want to follow the conversation, but I'm not sure I'll find time to really watch it anytime soon.
Now that I know it has a name, I am utilizing that maneuver every wednesday for about 3 minutes with CI. And I still don't care, jajaja!

Nooooo...
Is not even that, between TBBT and PEAM there's a little bit of time I use to set the VCR up. I am not even paying attention. OK, ok, I am, yesterday I got to listen Octavio's musical theme, where he sings a song that tells everything he has done, bad and good, to Maricruz... pathetic!

TJ, thank goodness! Sometimes I worry that with all the beanie wearing and suspension of reality required here that it affects my brain cells. I've never worried about YOU though, hee.
